You Had to Be There

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

I can do my best to tell you what it feels like in my skin

You can't really know unless you've gone where he's been

I can give you all the details but you'd never understand

What it means to let that go, slip right through your handsI guess, you had to be there when she smiled

Or had to feel the passion running wild

Really know the woman and the child

I guess, you had to be there'Til she stripped the layers off, seen into your soul

Watched her make a diamond of a worthless piece of coal

'Til you've held an angel then let her fly away

You won't ever understand, no matter what I sayI guess, you had to be there when she smiled

Or had to feel the passion running wild

Really know the woman and the child

I guess, you had to be thereI guess, you had to be there when she smiled

Or had to feel the passion running wild

Really know the woman and the child

I guess, you had to be thereI guess, you had to be there when she smiled

Or had to feel the passion running wild

'Til you walked in my shoes for a while

I guess, you had to be thereI guess, you had to be there

I guess, you had to be there
